With JBoss Tools, JBoss AS 7.1.1 asks me to create a *.war.dodeploy

[henk53]

With JBoss Tools 3.3b1 on Eclipse 3.7.2 and JBoss AS 7.1.1, I tried to deploy a simple war. Occasionally I'm getting the following when starting up JBoss AS via JBoss Tools:

INFO  [org.jboss.as.server.deployment.scanner] (DeploymentScanner-threads - 1) JBAS015003: Found test.war in deployment directory. To trigger deployment create a file called test.war.dodeploy

It looks like JBoss Tools makes an attempt to automate this, but it isn't always successful. Or am I doing something wrong?

On the Toolbar there is an icon that looks like a hand. Select the project in the navigator and the hand should become clickable. Click it to trigger redeployment while the server is running.

if you use latest JBoss Tools it should create a .dodeploy for you automatically.

was test.war the war you asked jboss tools to create ?

is there any test.war.* files in your deployment folder besides test.war ?
